*If you have been removed or quit the cheer squad during the 2023-2024 season you are not eligible to try out.
*If you have a balance from a previous year you are not eligible for tryouts without paying the balance. This also means that all uniform pieces have to be turned in.
*A parent or guardian must sign all forms.
*These teams will be COMPETITION teams as well as SIDELINE cheer for football and basketball. JH will for sure compete in 2 competitions, SH will compete in at least 3-4 plus State which will be held in December. This means that we will have several practices a week from September to December. There will also be one MANDATORY Saturday practice to learn competition choreography, and all of the competitions are on a Saturday..
*There will be several fundraisers that will be split between the two teams. These include little league concession, a 5K, gate at SB and BB, a parent night out, a dance. (There will be more)
*There will also be a Mandatory cheer camp tentatively July 12-17.(When we have final administrative approval we will let everyone know.)
